What is your usage requirements? Do you plan to download movies/games etc a lot? This will take more bandwidth and you can go for BSNL Home 500 plan which will give you 2.5 GB download per month and you can add Night Unlimited top up also if you want to increase the download limits...

If you will be using only for surfing, mail checking, chat, etc... perhaps even BSNL Start Up Plan 250 may be sufficient... You get 1 GB for 250 per month, but you cannot top up with Night Unlimited...

BSNL gives great value for money... But if there is any billing error that happens, their customer service will probably leave a bad after-taste...

Value for money ? Yes. But speed and reliability ? DEFINITELY NOT.

I do get good speeds with my connection here. I guess it's because I'm just 2 Kms away from the telephone exchange.
Bottom line: Speeds are good with this connection if you live close to the tele exchange.

BUT, I agree, reliability totally sucks. You can never predict if your connection is going to be all right. Just a few drops of rain, and it starts disconnecting like mad. Once in every 1 minute or so. Forget about the internet if it rains heavily.

BSNL 500C is the best plan under 500 Rs.(since rental free),if u r using landline.It provides very good speeds,even though they've started to throttle speeds at night, u can manage v.high speeds(about 100-200) with torrent.However,direct downloads are v.slow for me at night(2-8).

U can easily download in 1 month, what a 128 Kbps user downloads in 4-6 months(depending on how much pc turned on off course). But their customer service is pathetic. Have had numerous problems with BSNL.(All solved only because had contacts,by the official channel,they weren't taking any action).

So,if u can deal with that.Then definitely BSNL.Else any unlimited connection (Airtel 128Kbps?) for peace of mind. :D

Even my speed is being throttled @ night. I guess they're doing this on purpose to prevent us P2Ping. I don't think they'll solve this problem.
As for getting disconnected, you better call the tele exchange and inform them. If you're lucky, they'll send some guy(s) to inspect the line and fix it. If at first you don't succeed, try again. Keep on pestering them until they fix the problem.

You guys are being throttled? What speeds do you get, and have you port forwarded?

@Metalhead

Go to the nearest phone exchange and ask for the JE. They are incharge of broadband.

The ports are being forwarded properly. And I've enabled encryption as well.
The throttling happens only sometimes though.
Like I said, my connection is unpredictable.
Some days, I get ~200 kbps, and on other days, I don't manage more than 50 kbps.

If you need reliability, avoid BSNL like the plague. You better buy Airtel. I don't know about their net schemes though.

I don't use port forwarding. At time after 7:50 AM, speed suddenly jumps to 200kbps even without port forwarding. This means BSNL really IS messing with me at night.

And who is JE ?

What is the usual level of promptness shown in fixing stuff ?
